FINA 6223 - Global Mergers and Acquisitions


Credits: 2

An application-oriented course that draws heavily upon real world change of control case studies. Seeks to apply finance principles and analytical techniques to actual problems likely to be encountered by senior management of major corporations or those who are the advisers to such management in the context of an M&A transaction. Students gain an appreciation for the role that M&A plays in today’s corporate landscape and form an opinion as to whether or not an M&A transaction “makes sense” for the firm. At the conclusion of this course, students should expect to gain a level of competency in M&A commensurate with an entry-level investment banking associate in M&A. Whether or not students “practice” M&A, the course affords them an insider’s look into what is an undeniable major force on today’s corporate landscape. Accordingly, students who are interested in investment banking, consulting, equity research, corporate development, corporate lending, strategic planning, private equity, leveraged finance, or proprietary trading many wish to consider this course. Prerequisite: FINA 6205 .
